Conman: Richard Pearson stole £3,000 from a pensioner claiming he knew of a miracle fix for intolerable condition, tinnitus

A conman preyed on a vulnerable pensioner stealing £3,000 by spinning the lie that he knew a miracle fix for an incurable medical condition.

Devious Richard Pearson discovered his 73-year-old victim suffered from tinnitus - a persistent and debilitating ringing in the ears - during a chance meeting on a bus in Sunderland.

The conniving 53-year-old convinced his victim he knew of a clinic that could cure the intolerable condition.

Days later Pearson claimed to have arranged an appointment at a centre in Birmingham, making sure his elderly victim was present when he posted a £3,000 cheque on the pensioner's behalf - 'secure' the alternative treatment.

He then persuaded his victim to pay the £3,000 back in cash, escorting the pensioner to the building society to ensure he got his hands on the money.

Pearson made the scam appear more believable by telling the tinnitus sufferer he had previously been cured by the clinic.

In addition he gave him a £3,000 cheque as 'compensation' in case things went wrong.

But when Pearson backed out of his offer to give the pensioner a lift to his appointment, concerns grew and the unsuspecting victim discovered the promise of a cure had been a cruel con, and that the clinic never actually existed.

The £3,000 compensation cheque bounced when the pensioner tried to cash it, in a bid to get his money back.
